Capricorn Tales

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

I often worry that when I am blogging, people will think me a narcissist, or someone with a big ego, but I can promise you this is not the case and I can also promise you that I am done worrying about such worries.  What, you ask?  With the advancement of social media, I find that I am not the only person to share on Facebook, or Twitter (where I am actually more like myself, then on FB where all of my family and friend's are. lol). I began blogging off and on several years ago in an attempt to share more. My friend's tell me I am funny and outgoing and a pleasure to be around, but when it comes to my feelings, I could (and sometimes still can) be quite shut off from the outside world.  Part of the journey I shared in many blog posts last year, was about learning to come out of my shell.  I know it's silly, but learning to be confident, was definitely one of the more interesting aspects of my journey. All that said, people are goin...

The other day I shared a meditation on how to balance your energy with the Full (or New) Moon's energy. I wrote instructions on how I did it, but I forgot one key ingredient, Make-it-your-own.  That's right.  My meditations aren't a how-to-guide, they are a template so that you can tailor the meditations to what best suits your needs. So to show how my cousin and I share brain, I told Marie I was going to blog about the meditation I shared with her, and a few minutes, before I posted it, she texted me and asked me if she could video blog the meditation.  I had already sent her notes on how I do it a month earlier, since she and I have trouble with balancing the energies of the full moon and the new moon.  I told her that a video blog would be great and that I thought it was funny that she mentioned it, since I had told her I was going to blog about it several days earlier while I was still in Tucson.  We hadn't talked about thi...

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...

Brace yourselves, this will probably be a rambling post, but hey, no one is perfect and it is apparently one of the things I do best.  I think this post will be about resolutions, but I didn't want to put that in the subject line, I thought I would keep you guessing.  So mean right? Or is that clever trickery?  Sometimes I am so wicked awesome (in my own mind).  So let's get to it.  Resolution number one.  No resolutions.  For me they end up being empty promises that only make me feel guilty at the end of the year.  So for the second year in a row, I am flying by the seat of my pants and coming up with idea's of things I want to, need to and have to get done. As those of you who read my blog know, I made this oath last year and went on one hell of a year long, transformative, journey.  As I write this today, I think I might have just finished with one of the biggest transformations in my life and I didn't even realize...

This is my fifth draft on this subject and I find that the more I rewrite this, the less redundant I seem to become.  I'm also a little less cynical, since my first draft. I am trying to take the more positive approach to life, what can I say? New Year's Resolution? Probably, but that's a topic for another day. So, let's get to the nitty gritty of the subject line.  Do you ever feel like you are ignored or 'not worthy' when on Twitter?  Maybe even Facebook?  I have a friend that does when it comes to Twitter.  Yeah, okay, it's me, but Facebook isn't my problem, in fact, I know personally 99% of my Facebook Friend's, because I don't just friend anyone, which is also why I don't look like I have many friend's on there. *shrugs*  Besides, that's what Twitter is for... From time to time I like to comment or retweet things I see.  I don't expect a response or a like, but when I don't get one, I think 'Oh Crap, did I ...
